I have a very similar problem. Im am also witing a programm with
different modules which should have
their own buildfiles.
I would like to use a mechanism like
	forall buildfiles in dir
		ant buildfile

In the moment I start the modules' buildfiles with a hardcoded list of
buildfiles
	ant buildfile-module1
	ant buildfile-module2
	etc.
This is of course not what I want/need but I dont't see any other way to
handle this problem.

Has anyone a better idea? Or is this a problem of ant?

Bye
	Frank

Yes, that is something I would like to see too. At the moment I have to
repeat lots of code in my build.xml 's.
